Teleprompter Insider Traded on Trump Speeches | Bitcoin and Crypto News

A former Trump speech teleprompter operator is under federal scrutiny after allegedly using inside knowledge to profit over $100K betting on Trump’s speeches via Kalshi, a prediction market platform. His bets, flagged by the system, reportedly included cashing out mid-speech if Trump veered off-script. The White House placed him on unpaid leave, and Trump called the situation a disgrace. This isn’t isolated — another trader made $1.2M betting on a crypto probe before insider trading allegations emerged. Lawmakers are responding, with a new bill targeting Congress members and their families from trading on political prediction markets — signaling a tightening grip on these fast-growing platforms.
